Currently working in a school teaching Edexcel GCSE PE (New Spec) and BTEC Sport (Level 3).
Resources will primarily be things I produce for my Y11 GCSE group as we work through the new syllabus. Along with resources made at my previous schools / during my PGCE year.
Teaching since 2014. Previous background was in sports coaching and performance analysis at football academies.

Lesson created as a one-lesson crash course of the Energy systems topic from Unit 1 - Anatomy & Physiology (Level 3 BTEC Sport).
My students have found the energy systems topic to be the most challenging from the 5 body systems studied throughout the course. This lesson was created as a ‘crash-course’ of the energy systems topic to cover everything they need to know in one lesson.
Students found this lesson to consolidate the most important bits of information from the topic & create a revision sheet with all the information they need to know.
Improve your accuracy and reliability of student progress data using this GCSE PE tracking sheet (Edexcel GCSE PE 2016 Spec).
Created to reduce workload when calculating students working at grades & to provide students / parents with clear picture of how to reach different grades (against 2024 grade boundaries)
Calculates WAG’s using data inputted from exam marks, practical scores & PEP - using raw marks & scaling factors for each component to provide a points total (/350). WAG’s calculated against Summer 2024 exam series.
Instructions provided.
Input data from mock exams, practical assessments & PEP to generate live and accurate working at grades - calculated using grade boundaries from 2024 exam series.
Progress cards - New feature with live data which can be printed / shared with parents / students. Useful for parents evenings to show current WAG’s & how to progress to the next grade.
Will be shared as a google sheet as ‘view only’ - Create a copy to your computer to have full access!

These lessons were created to be embedded into the KS3 curriculum and give students a taste of what studying PE at KS4 entails. The aim of these lessons is to give students a basic understanding of key topics studied in GCSE PE and engage students in a different way of learning in KS3 PE lessons which would normally be completely practically based.
Students will complete one theory lesson during each block of practical lessons throughout the year (one theory lesson every 6-7 weeks). Throughout KS3 students should develop a basic understanding of all topics before starting GCSE PE in year 10.
The lessons were tailored to the Edexcel GCSE PE (2016) specification and each year group focuses on a different topic within their lessons.
*Would be suitable for other GCSE PE qualifications with similar content.
*Also useful as a wet weather / cover lesson to keep students engaged in a classroom.
Included:
7 lessons based around one ‘Big Question’ on Physical training and Anatomy & physiology.
A graphic organiser / booklet which can be printed out and given to students to work in each lesson (in place of working in an exercise book).
A PowerPoint with all 7 lessons – Each lesson including…
o Title slide
o Engage/starter tasks
o Shared learning outcomes – using big & small question
o Share new information – Students fill in the blanks in their booklets to gather new information shared in the lesson.
o Mini plenaries to check understanding throughout the lesson.
o Tasks – Application activities where students demonstrate their learning.
o Final task is to complete the ‘small question’ for the lesson which involves an extended answer. Hints included to support students with what to include and a ‘WAGOLL’ of what a good one looks like!
o Plenary task to wrap up the lesson.
Links to GCSE curriculum: Each lesson includes GCSE content which has been simplified / scaffolded to be suitable for younger students. Extended answers to the small question at the end of the lesson use the same ‘PEB’ structure that is encouraged at GCSE level (Point, Explain, Benefit).
*Some videos which were initially embedded into the PPT have been removed to reduce file size. Links for the videos have been posted into the slides.

GCSE PE - Component 2 Exam practice revision lesson (Edexcel 2016)
Includes:
Silent starter activity - mulitple choice exam questions
Breakdown of three exam questions from past papers, with helpful hints to support more independent answers (PEB).
Worksheets for more / less able students to complete exam questions on.
Green pen activity to peer/self assess answers.
Plenary activity to review keywords / definitions.
Key words flash cards created to support my GCSE PE group with their revision (Edexcel 2016 spec)
Includes 152 key words with definitions! Created on powerpoint - one slide containing 6 key words, the following slides with the 6 definitions.
This can either be used as flash cards with key words on one side, with the definition on the other. (Print double sided) OR print on individual sheets and use as a matching exercise to pair up each key word with its definition.
*If printing double sided - check printer settings to ensure the correct definition and keyword are paired up.
Key words & definitions taken from the Pearson Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Physical Education 2nd Ed textbook (2016).
Created for Edexcel GCSE PE (2016 Spec) to support students with 4-6 mark questions in assessment.
Supports students with a framework to write extended answers with greater success in gaining marks - this can link to 9 mark questions, i used this lesson to embed the skills of how to answer shorter questions first.
Questions focused around skeletal system / cardiovascular system (Component 1)
Created to support students with long answer (9 mark) questions in assessments. Question based on muscle fibers for a 5000m runner!
I used a similar lesson to help them write developed statements on shorter responses which they found really useful (lesson resources available - writing developed statements). This lesson focuses on building those same writing skills to 9 mark questions to help them write extended answers with more success.
Lots of my students either wrote lots of simple statements, which restricts them to only 3 marks. Or they wrote the explanation / analysis without the statements / definitions first. This lesson worked really well to support them in writing more concise, and successful answers.
Format of the lesson is to give them the 9 mark question first, I then did some general revision / Q&A / discussion on different topics as a break between answers, and then got them to re-write their answers after discussing how to answer it with more success. Finishing off with a peer assessment task to compare answers.
I then asked them to look back through other 9 mark questions we have done, choose one and have a go using the same structure!
I created this lesson using last years assessment to help my students understand how to answer questions & get them used to understanding what questions are asking for.
The lesson looks at 3 questions from component 1 - on muscle actions, heart rate and antagonistic muscle pairs.
Includes printable slides to use as support in lesson. The powerpoint breaks down the question & includes model answers & mark schemes to self assess!
I have also created a similar lesson for component 2!
Created for Edexcel GCSE (New spec) - Component 2: Topic 1 - Health, fitness and well-being.
Includes 25 cards and answers. Question on the right, the answer is on the left of a different card. Excellent way of engaging all students in a revision activity.
Additional slides can be added in to create more questions. I have also produced a set for topic 2 and 3 from component 1.
